hello guys, remember I said I would go live on Monday with a 6-week slope - well I`m chickening out and toe the line I feel its stupid to change anything until I got a lot more experience with this system. sorry to let you`s down.

Margin on currency futures

hi guys, had a look at all the trades where losses as the trade progressed were higher than -200 pips and looked at cutting losses at 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450 and 500 pips. best was cutting off at 450 pips down from entry price. loss would have ...

Fj, IB got 38 major crosses to trade......not too many? however they dont have the exotics like ZAR, CZK, DKK, NOK, where you seem to get the most profit from. now I can trade the futures in these currencies, but Globex is only open for 7 1/2 hours. ...

thanks Kenz, yep, thats for the mini for 6E the initial margin is like you said $ 3105 could you explain what the maintenance margin of $ 2,300 has to do with it? thanks

thanks Fj, the pairs usually go around in waves in the direction of the trend or not and when one wave ends and goes in the other direction, I feel the 20-week slope is a little late in recognizing the new direction. at the end of the day it might ...

Steve, I am very interested in Jacko`s thread as well and as a matter of fact I`m having to choose between Jacko`s and Flyjetz system. The AH strategy comes in when you only trade in the direction of the trend, but because Flyjetz is now trading in ...

hi guys, I feel that the 20-week slope is too long to react to changes in the trends for currencies like JPY, GBP and USD in the last 3 months. It has been said before that it doesn`t matter really much how to calculate the entries and I`m going ...

Weekly 80/20 Setups

mathematician, I agree that my calculation of the slope would have a different outcome to Flyjetz`s. but apart from all that is the question: can we in a certain way calculate the position of next weeks candle with any degree of confidence? is the ...

thank you so much for sharing with us your overall view of your system. I`m really excited now after learning of your successes so far and that you are fully committed to your system. its amazing that a mechanical system like this can be so good and ...

Weekly 80/20 Setups

I`ve been looking at the results made so far in this journal. until the end of April the system was going in overdrive with 3,634 pips profit and on 6 May even 3,955 banked pips. after that the pip machine grounded to a halt and stands now at 3,434 ...

aud, I think that even in a ranging market as long as the waves are of sufficient size, Jacko`s system would still do well, trying to get in near the bottom and get out near the top. I dont think its good to almost rubbish a system because you can`t ...

thanks Jacko for your view on the Eur/Usd. I hope that if your picture changes that you would be kind enough to post in this thread. ps earlier it was mentioned that it was wrong for Jacko to recommend a long trade on a bearish doji. but in price ...

I agree with SP that entries seem to be a bit of a hit and miss affair and I commented on that earlier in the thread. Nobody replied to my request for more info on entries and I get the feeling nobody knows for sure what to do. Everybody is looking ...

thank you for your reply. I dont try to be difficult here, just wondering and trying to learn. being neutral is the most important thing to mitigate risk together with money management. ofcourse you can be currency-neutral when you place your ...

had a look at the 18 closed trades on Zulu for 17/4/08 when the BBFM Helter Skelter strategy was started up. Exposure was very unbalanced at the end of 17/4 if these are the trades taken on that day and no other trades are still open. euro 1 buy/4 ...

thank you Flyjetz, if I have 10 trades @ $ 145k each and I lose 200 pips per $100k on every trade @ $10 per pip that would cost me $ 29,000. You are trading 27 pairs @ 0.6-1.5% so that`s around 27%. Is that then trading 27% of your own capital @ 1:1 ...

hello folks, for a moment I had the idea that the longer the weekly candle, the more profit was possible. that would be the pairs with the JPY and CHF, where the ATR compared to price are generally high. looking on zulu, the system trading in both ...

Weekly 80/20 Setups

thank you Flyjetz for your elaborate reply...... so there is no difference between up or down trending pairs anymore. you always push the button once price hits 20 or 80%. in your example above, USD/JPY wouldn`t you have a market sell order at ...
